Ahoj pilote,
je nám potěšením přivítat Tě na webových stránkách World XContest 2017, celosvětového přeletového systému.
Novinky:
5. 12. 2011 - new feature AIR BUDDIES
From this moment you will meet with new handy feature on XContest - Air Buddies. Under the map and height profile in flight detail you will see first 3 related flights according to the "similarity" with the current flight - it means how much fly these pilots together or even if they meet in the air. You will be able to show more such flight immediatelly inside the page, or click on the show on map together link - this action will move you to the new page, similar to the one which you already know from HotSpot detail.
Enjoy!
4. 12. 2011 - Rules for 100k+ Club precisely
We received more questions about new rules for Chocholate Club 100k+, especially about the evaluation of single takeoff site. So let's look at it closer:
We will accept only takeoffs from our database (it means the takeoff which you usually choose from the select list in the flight claim form, step 2). Concerning flights from not-yet-created sites: we will create them, in case it IS regular takeoff place. Other cases will be considered as the nearest takeoff from our DB, or will not be counted for the Club in case of any doubts. Takeoffs "from the air" will be evaluated in the same way.
So in short: do not try to switch on the GPS unit in the air or choose new obcure places for takeoff in the areas where there are other regular takeoffs, only to win chocolate:-)
3. 10. 2011 - Chocolate Club 100k+ goes into 2012 season with new rules!
In cooperation with the Chocolate Fikar, partner of Chocolate Club 100k+, we decided to sligtly change the rules for this prestigeous category. Starting from 2012 season, maximum of 2 flights over 100k from one single flying site is counted. We wish many varied 100k+ flights from all over the world!:)
1. 3. 2010 - The Dutch cylinder race
Are you club, group of pilots, nation and would you like to organize simple tasks from more flying sites in one day?
XContest now offer to use an interface for rounds (tasks) and competition from different flying sites where you can set basic parameters:
create a new round
name and date of round
straight distance or out and return
radius of take-off cylinder
radius of goal cylinder
which sites will be used for each round
18. 2. 2010 - WIN GOLD BRICKS!

The category includes all pilots who have logged at least 1 flight over 100 km. Ranking is given by the number of such flights. In the case of equal number of flights over 100k the second aspect for ranking is the longest flight of pilot. 1 km = 1 point, closed triangles are optimized as free distance over 3 turnpoints.
Winners will get:
1st place - 10 kg famous belgian chocolate - Belcolade or Barry Callebaut (100 pieces of gold bricks)
2nd place - 5 kg (50 pieces of gold bricks)

4th place - 3 kg (30 pieces of gold bricks)
5th place - 2 kg (20 pieces of gold bricks)
6th - 20th place - 1 kg (10 pieces of gold bricks)
Ranking includes all pilots who are closest to the mark 100 km.
1st place - 1kg (10 pieces of gold bricks)
Chocolate gold bricks will be distributed till end of November 2010 within Europe at our expenses, outside of Europe pilot has to cover transportation costs.

14. 11. 2007 - We would like to announce close partnership between XContest and Cross Country magazine. First issue of this cooperation is here:
Enter your flights in the XContest and you could win a free subscription to Cross Country magazine, or a DVD of your choice.
As part of our partnership Cross Country is offering free prizes to those that participate in the league. Just before each issue of Cross Country is printed, the names of three pilots who’ve entered scores in the last two months will be randomly selected by our computer. Prizes for the winners of the different categories will be announced later in the year, but in the meantime you don’t need to be a champion to be a winner, so get those flights logged.
Základní rozdělení stránek:
Levé menu: obsahuje odkazy na stránky zobrazující informace o přeletech, pilotech a pořadí v jednotlivých kategoriích. Dále zde najdeme pravidla ČPP a F.A.Q. (často pokládané otázky).
Pravé menu: "uživatelské", obsahuje odkazy, které uživatel (pilot) bude moci na webu provést, tj. registrace, přihlášení výkonu, založení a správa týmů atd.
Věříme, že jednoduchost a intiutivní práce s novým systémem XContest Ti bude při přihlašování výkonů dělat radost stejně jako velmi zajímavé a interaktivní prohlížení již přihlášených přeletů.
Cíl projektu:
Cílem je provozování co nejpřehlednějšího a jednoduchého přeletového systému, který bude zároveň přinášet všechny důležité informace o letech i pilotech. Pro zobrazení letů bylo snahou dát uživatelům prostor pro co nejzajímavější prohlížení všech důležitých dat, která jsou z tracklogu k dispozici a nebylo nutné používat další software.
